Condition Based Asset Management News - GoodOil Vol 34 - October 27, 2005

Store and Find CM Reports Easily with Dingo Trakka™

A common headache for many organisations is what to do with the volume of condition monitoring reports that come in from multiple vendors. Some people print and file them, some use Microsoft Outlook mail folders for filing and others use network directories. The common problem with all these methods is being able to find a specific report quickly and easily when you want it.

With Dingo Trakka you can:

Store any type of electronic report against a component in one central location.
Easily find and retrieve stored documents from any computer with Internet access.

When you combine Trakka™'s ability to store documents with the capability to receive and manage electronic condition monitoring data (Oil, VA, Motor Current, etc.) you have ONE system that provides a holistic view of the condition of your equipment.

The next release of Trakka is just around the corner. Trakka™V1.5 will be released at the end of November 2005. It will feature a new "CSV" import area that will enable users to quickly get equipment information into Trakka. Because it is inbuilt, data can be validated in real time and any issues will be more quickly resolved. Stay tuned to the next GoodOil for more details!

If you or your company are interested in learning more about the features and benefits of Trakka™, take advantage of attending a webinar and RSVP today!

Some of the topics covered in the webinar include:
